摘要: Targeted patch-clamp recordings are a promising technique that can directly address the physiological properties of specific neuron embedded in neuronal network. Typically, neurons visualized through fluorescent dyes or proteins with fluorescence microscopy. After switching to transmitted light microscopy, interest re-identified and visually approached situ pipettes. Here we introduce simpler method for targeting. With fluorophore-coated pipettes, fluorescently labeled pipette tips simultaneously imaged at same wavelength microscope field, so even their neurites targeted without suffering from chromatic aberration mechanical complication optics. We did not find coated fluorophores affected electric pipettes neurons. The novel will be wildly available micromanipulation under online visual control.
